A mining company is alleging that San Bernardino County shirked state and local environmental laws when it approved an agreement on a proposed pipeline to divert groundwater from the eastern Mojave Desert to the Colorado River Aqueduct. Delaware Tetra Technologies Inc. is seeking a court order prohibiting the county, the Santa Margarita Water District, Delaware-based Cadiz Inc. and the Fenner Valley Mutual Water Co. from acting on their agreement until the environmental issues in question are addressed. The Fenner Valley Mutual Water Co. is a nonprofit established by Cadiz Inc. to be the project operator.
